I’ve ceased with the pre-shift ritual of meditating in my parked truck along with a soothing piece of music. No more prayers to God en route to work asking for more patience, more humanity, more understanding. I have accepted the fact that it will be no different than any other night in the Emergency Department, no matter if I blare Yanni’s rancid piano etudes or make a promise to God to pass out my own body parts to the discharged patients as they leave. Nothing will change. I use to look forward to making a difference in someone’s life, helping a poor soul whose body has given out. Those moments are few and far between now. Instead, I resign myself to the fact that the next 12 hours will be spent pasting a fake smile on a tired body, going through the motions of caring, repeating ready-made lines of false … Read more

The new TV show coming out this fall called “Pure Genius” is about a wealthy Silicon Valley tech genius who starts a cutting edge (bleeding edge) hospital. Of course he isn’t just wealthy; he’s a billionaire. It doesn’t just have the latest technology; it has the not-yet-invented technology, or as one review called it, “improbably advanced technology.” Who wouldn’t want transparent tablet computers? Their wall size, touch monitors look amazing. Their eHub adhesive computer that monitors everything about the patient only took 8 months to develop. It is Star Trek in a hospital setting, “with the most brilliant minds in medicine and the most brilliant minds in technology,” they’re “going to get stuff done,” says character James Bell, tech mogul. It is upbeat and optimistic. It looks like fun, medical science fiction. I look forward to seeing what its writers can dream up.

However, the first thing I thought of … Read more

Autodesk Inc, the 3D design software expert has updated its software for 3D modeling, animation, effects and rendering. Technology is changing everyday and we need to be constantly updated. The software we used a year ago is being replaced by newer ones. This applies to animation software also. Initially it used to be a very laborious task but now things have changed. The unnecessary labor is done by the computer. This is done with the help of animation software. Simply, animation software is specialized software used for the purpose of drawing images on the computer. These can be both 2D and 3D.

Most 2D animation software is used of simpler work. The 3D animation software is mainly used for films and videogames.

There are many types of animation software but the most common ones being:

Autodesk Maya: The word ‘Maya’ is actually the Sanskrit version if the word ‘illusion’. This … Read more

Computers and technology are advancing at an ever-increasing pace. What was new a year ago is now outdated, and the futuristic innovations to come really don’t seem all that far off. Tablets and smartphones brought touch interactivity to the masses, but now wearable, voice-activated technology is pushing the limits of what we can do with a machine, both in terms of computing power and size. If you haven’t yet heard of Google Glass, prepare to reconsider what you think a computer is, and prepare to be amazed at what this latest innovation can do.

What is Google Glass?

Google Glass is a computer that you wear like eyeglasses. Like a smartphone or tablet, it can connect you to just about anything and anyone. However, unlike iOS or Android technology, Google Glass offers hands-free, voice-activated interactivity. If you’re bothered by people always looking down at their mobile devices, or if you’ve … Read more
